NJ, I'm so sorry you're hurting so much. I was divorced from my first husband, and know how painful it is...
It's so helpful and informative when an LD person speaks up, because some of us are trying to see into the LD mindset. I want to ask a question, and please don't read any sarcasm or anything into it... I mean it in an absolutely straightforward and sincere way. I truly am seeking to understand something that I don't understand: Did you think he would put up with your L behavior indefinitely? I realize he may have lacked finesse in the way he described the problem, and probably should have suggested that the two of you work on it together. That said, YOU knew there was a major disconnect... did you think that it would have no consequences?
Again no offense... but please give us some insight into the LD way of thinking about the future you perception of what it was like for HIM to see no prospect of change coming from you.
